Peach and plum spring breeze and a glass of wine

...With just a few strokes of the knife, dad chopped down a large group of thugs on the street. The group of thieves were so frightened that they peed on the spot...

There were few people on the street, and Yang Gebi gestured and vividly described to Xiao Huang his heroic appearance last night.

Xiao Huang looked up at him and kept wagging his tail, his big black eyes full of his figure.

The two men walked home happily. As soon as they entered Chaimen Street, they saw a group of men in brown clothes dressed as servants, surrounding two slim girls, making a lot of noise.

He took another closer look and saw that the two girls in a dilemma, surrounded by the group of brown-clothed servants, were not the Xie sisters from next door to his house.

“It’s the Chinese New Year, how come you always encounter bad luck!”

He clicked his tongue in annoyance. After learning that the family's surname was Xie, he knew that this family was determined not to be as weak as they seemed, and he must have deliberately turned a blind eye. However, he also thought of the little girl who was always being praised by Brother Yang. I'm embarrassed to keep it to myself...

so annoying.

He sighed and walked over there, shouting loudly from a distance: Hey, hey, what's going on? Is there any way to act like a hooligan in broad daylight?

When the servants in brown clothes heard that someone was meddling in other people's business, they all looked in his direction.

The crowd parted, and a small young man wearing a slutty gold-red floral dress and a decent mink fur cloak, holding a small copper stove in his hand, looked at him up and down with a contemptuous and sinister look on his face.

At the right time, a brown servant came close to the little young man's ear, looked at Yang Ge and whispered something.

The little young man suddenly sneered and said in a sinister tone: Who do you think I am? How dare you interfere in my own business? It turns out that I am just a lowly servant.

Yang Geqing smiled lightly and said: It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you have violated the king's law. If you don't leave, I will report to the official.

Wang Fa?

The little young man seemed to have heard a joke and sneered: In this three-acre land of Luting, I am the king!

Yang Ge:......

You idiots and dandies, don’t you have anything new to say?

He asked speechlessly: Oh, I haven't asked yet, which family are you from?

Blinding your dog eyes!

A scoundrel with a stern face stepped forward, pointed at Yang Ge and scolded angrily: You are working for a living in Luting, and you don't even recognize the eldest young master of the Meng family?

Meng family?

Yang Ge thought for a while, but he really didn't remember that there was such a person in Luting. He shook his head and said: Forgive me for being ignorant, but I really don't recognize the young master of the Qian family... But if you don't leave, I really have to report to the official.

How dare you!

The bitch was furious. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to come forward and teach Yang Ge a profound lesson.

Woof woof woof...

Xiao Huang didn't see this, he jumped up and rushed over to open a few eyes for the guy.

Yang Ge grabbed Xiao Huang and said seriously: I advise you not to do anything. To molest a good woman can range from cutting off the tongue, to tattooing the face and being exiled. To beating others can range from flogging for forty years, to beheading the hands and parading the face in the street... They are all serious crimes.

But the bitch just sneered, and instead of stopping, he walked even more aggressively.

Seeing this, Yang Ge tilted his head with a headache and sighed softly.

Wait a minute.

Just when the bastard walked within three feet in front of Yang Ge and was about to rush into hell, the little young man suddenly spoke.

The dogleg immediately stepped aside.

The short young man played with the copper stove in his hand and walked up to Yang Ge with a group of servants in brown clothes. He looked at Yang Ge up and down with squinted eyes: You know the articles by heart!

Yang Ge smiled and nodded: I'm just making a living. Of course I have to memorize it, otherwise I won't be able to serve someone like you.

You're good.

The little young man nodded with a sneer, then raised a finger and pointed at Yang Ge: In my life, this is the first time that I have encountered a lowly person like you!

Why.

Yang Ge opened the fingers in front of him with a slap: You will see it today.

Asshole!

Be bold!

He's so tender...

Before the little young man could say anything, a group of servants in brown clothes had already started to explode, like a group of lost dogs whose tails had been stepped on.

Okay, okay, great!

The little young man was also shivering with anger, but he seemed to be worried about something. Even though he was shivering with anger, he did not really let his thugs swarm him. Instead, he watched Yang Ge gnashing his teeth and word by word. Squeeze: If you can leave a whole corpse, I will be the one raised by you!

Yang Ge put his hands on his hips and said lazily, It's easy to say, you can go home now and find a maid mother. It's not too late.

The little young man was so angry that his face turned purple. Several times he wanted to raise his hand and call for his men to swarm up and beat the madman in front of him to death, but he held back.

In the end, he could only say, You wait for me, sir, and led his gang of losers away in stride.

Yang Ge poked his nostrils and snorted in a lack of interest: It's such a big fight, and I'm still thinking about you wanting to fuck me... It's boring!

He lazily led Xiao Huang towards home.

The two sisters from the Xie family on the other side came up to him. The little girl had a red tie in her bun and a small medicine box on her waist. She blessed him with a smile on her face and said, Thank you, Brother Yang.

Yang Ge shook his head and looked at the dull-looking eldest lady of the Xie family on the other side. He saw that she had no idea what was painted on her face. The original snow-white face was painted waxy yellow and mixed with a little dust. At first glance, she looked ordinary. strange.

But skin color can be disguised, but how can one disguise one’s charm and figure?

To be honest, it has been more than a year since this family moved next door to his house, but Yang Ge has not met these eldest ladies of the Xie family very often. Most of the time, this little girl chatters like a lark. Come up and talk to him.

But even so, Yang Ge could still see that she had lost a lot of weight, and her long hair, which should have been black and reflective, exuded a yellowing and withered feeling against the background of the snow...

In one way, those who die are left with incomplete corpses, and those who live are worse than dead.

Is prosperity and wealth really that important?

Yang Ge sighed softly in his heart and said warmly: Thank you, Miss, please forgive me for my shallow words. Life is short, so you might as well be more open-minded. No matter what others think of you, as long as you have a clear conscience, you are clean.

As soon as the word thank you was spoken, both sisters were shocked.

Even the heartless smile on the little girl's face disappeared in an instant...

Yang Ge was not in the mood to be their spiritual mentor. After saying a few words, he took Xiao Huang and continued walking forward.

The eldest lady of the Xie family looked at his back blankly, and suddenly said: What if you have a guilty conscience?

This was the first time Yang Ge heard her speak, and he felt that he could not have smoked for a few years and could not have picked up her deep, hoarse and magnetic voice.

Then make up for it!

Yang Ge stopped and replied: Even if the merits and demerits cannot be balanced, it is still good to do more to make yourself feel better.

Now you have fallen into the mud and are covered in filth because of the Xie family. Maybe he can be recognized by the world again because of you...it all depends on man!

After saying that, he walked back to his home without looking back.

The two sisters stood there and watched him go away. They watched the subordinate of Xiu Yiwei who often went to his house to look for him come out of the corner to greet him, only to be rejected...

Fang Ke rubbed his nose that hit the courtyard door, turned towards the street and looked at the Xie sisters, cupped their hands, turned around and climbed over the wall to leave.

Meng family?

Which Meng family is so incredible?

…

The Meng family of Qinghe Hall, who received divine grace as Lu Tingcheng, did not want to repay the imperial court or repay the divine grace, but instead practiced evil deeds of abusing power for personal gain, bullying the market, bullying men and women, betraying the saints, and trampling on the law. Now it is verified that the Meng family In order to open a winery, he secretly ordered his servants to injure many people, and he also secretly opened a gambling house and loaned usury. The people of Luting suffered greatly and the public resentment boiled over!

The chief culprit is sentenced to be executed by Qiu Hou, and the follower is assassinated in Lingnan...

On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Yuelai Inn had just opened its doors, and Fang Ke led a team of embroidered warriors to escort Cheng Meng's family in Luting County to parade through the streets, attracting countless people from Luting to watch.

The spring is cold, and these Meng family members, each wearing only a single piece of clothing and carrying heavy shackles on their shoulders, cried all the way...

Arriving in front of the Yuelai Inn, Fang Ke whipped Mr. Meng to the ground, who was crying like his dead father. He stepped forward, twisted his head, pointed his face at the Yuelai Inn, and made a vicious sound. He whispered: Weren't you very powerful before? Who do you want to die without a complete body?

Yang Ge, who was behind the counter of the inn, yawned and raised his chin slightly towards Fang Ke, indicating to him to take away these unlucky things quickly and not to affect their business... without even looking at Mr. Meng.

Fang Ke nodded slightly with a smile on his face, then lowered his head and slapped Mr. Meng's little face vigorously. He smiled evilly and whispered: Don't worry, we still have plenty of time to get along. I will treat you well!

Young Master Meng, who was surrounded by huge panic, finally understood at this moment how the Meng family could cause such a big disaster for no reason, and he opened his mouth to beg for mercy...

Fang Ke naturally wouldn't give him a chance to talk nonsense. He blocked Mr. Meng's mouth, picked him up from the ground, and aimed a flying kick at his butt, causing him to roll forward. Walk.

Finally, he reached out to Yuelai Inn casually, as if making an invitation gesture towards Yuelai Inn.

Before Yang Ge could figure out what kind of plane the guy was working on, he saw two sturdy men wearing brocade clothes and carrying bags full of bags in their hands striding into the door.

In the lobby, shopkeeper Liu greeted the regular customers who came to support them. Seeing that the two of them were well-dressed, he hurriedly greeted them: The two guests looked unfamiliar. Are you here to visit relatives? Please sit down and have a rest. Erniu, come on. Hot tea!”

Facing the warm reception of the old shopkeeper with a smile on his face, the two men looked very polite. They raised their hands together and said: You are so polite, old man. We brothers are indeed new to your place. We are here to pay homage to a distinguished person on behalf of the master's family.

Upon hearing this, the old shopkeeper said: It turns out that we are distinguished guests from Jianghuai. Please come and take a seat. The small one has mutton in a copper pot. It is a must-have in Luting...

Shopkeeper, let me do it.

Yang Ge stepped forward to take over from the old shopkeeper, reaching in and making an invitation gesture: You two, there is a private room upstairs, please take a seat.

The two men nodded politely and followed his guidance to the second floor.

Now the inn has just opened, and the people who came to cheer are the neighbors. In order to gain popularity, they are all in the lobby on the first floor. The second floor is still empty.

After Yang Ge led the two of them to sit down in the corner by the window, before they could speak, he shouted at the top of his voice: One set of mutton in a copper pot, two kilograms of mutton!

Okay!

Zhang Erniu, who was busy on the first floor, echoed loudly.

The two men who had just sat down now stood up and bowed respectfully in front of Yang Ge.

Yang Ge pushed the two of them back into the chairs: Which family do you belong to? Lianlianwu or the Yang family?

A man clasped his fists respectfully and replied: Back to the Second Master, the two young men are the leaders of Lianlianwu. They are here to pay New Year's greetings to the Second Master on behalf of the Young Master.

‘No wonder Fang Ke dared to lead them directly to the door. ’

Yang Ge said in his heart, smiled and waved his hands: The visitor is a guest. There is nothing big or small. I'll treat you to this meal. If it's not enough, you can add meat later. I prepared the soup base for the mutton in the copper pot. , I cut the mutton, and I will keep it safe for you to eat it once and remember it twice.

The man who answered quickly responded: I don't dare to spend money on the second master. Before I went out, the master of the young dock specially told me not to cause any trouble to the second master.

Yang Ge shook his head indifferently: It doesn't matter. You listen to him on his farm. When you come to my farm, you listen to me. Just eat in peace. When I get back, I will give you a good description of my craftsmanship. Catch his glutton!

The two men laughed innocently when they heard this.

Yang Ge patted the two of them on the shoulders: You guys sit down first. I'll go down and take a look. I'll come back up after I'm done with this.

The two immediately wanted to stand up again, but Yang Ge held them down and could not move. They could only cup their hands and say: Second Master, please go and do your own business. There is no need to greet us brothers.

Yang Ge nodded, turned around and went downstairs.

The two watched him go downstairs, and then they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Second Master doesn't look as fierce as the rumors say.

Yeah, who would have thought that a capable person like Er Ye would end up working as a waiter in a little-known inn?

This may be the unique hobby of the big shot...

We brothers must keep our mouths shut. No one except the young dock master can talk about the things here.

You think I have no brains? Tell me? Move your head after you say that?

Aren't I afraid that you'll get into trouble while you're drunk?

You reminded me to stop drinking from now on!

The two of them chatted in low voices.

After a while, Yang Ge, who had been busy with the meal, came up with a copper pot and mutton.

Seeing this, the two men quickly stood up and reached out to catch it with both hands.

Yang Ge followed them and took the tray in his hand, smiled and asked in a low voice: Is the old dock master okay?

Thanks to your great blessing, Second Master, the old dock owner is in good health. Before we left, he specially asked me to go out and invite Second Master to stay in our chain dock for some time.

Yang Ge nodded: I will go...

He asked the two of them to sit down, picked up the mixing bowl and mixed the ingredients for them: Just in time, I have something else I want to ask you for help with. Please help me with my advice first.

The two men slapped their chests and confirmed without thinking.

Yang Ge shook his head: Don't worry, just listen to what I have to say... I want to transport a batch of grain outside the customs, and I want to borrow your Lianwan dock ship to make a trip to save some losses on the road. Is there any inconvenience? ?”

After hearing this, both of them hesitated for two seconds.

A man replied: Back to the Second Master, the imperial court has always been very strict with the grain going north. If the quantity is small, it's okay, but if the quantity is too large... I'm afraid it won't be able to get through.

Yang Ge asked: Is the amount of ten thousand taels of silver considered large or small?

The man replied: Anything over a thousand taels is considered too large.

Yang Ge: Then I divide the amount of 10,000 taels of silver into ten batches and send them out within three to five months. Is that feasible?

The man immediately agreed: It can be done. Even if there are some details that need to be considered, the face of our chain dock is still acceptable.

Yang Ge nodded: That's fine, I'm not in a hurry anyway.

After his words fell, another man clasped his fists and said: There is another key point. I need to tell the second master that the ships and manpower of our chain dock can only reach Jizhou at the farthest. Any further away will cross the border. It's easy. Causing trouble... What I said is not a shirk. We at Lianlianwu are not afraid of causing trouble, we are just afraid of missing the important event of the second master.

Yang Ge pushed the two food bowls in front of the two of them and said with a smile: It doesn't matter. I'll say hello to them in advance when the time comes and see if they can send someone to pick them up. If not, I'll go there myself.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, If the second master is willing to take action personally, there will be no disadvantages!

Yang Ge put a plate of mutton into the pot, stirred it a few times, then put it into two bowls: Try my craftsmanship.

Thank you, Master!

The two thanked them, picked up the chopsticks, dipped the thin mutton in some toppings, put it into their mouths, and started to praise it before chewing it.

Yang Ge quickly scalded the mutton and said with a smile: You can't just dip it in it, you have to stir it. If it tastes too bland, add some salt yourself.

The two of them nodded obediently, followed his instructions, stirred the mutton into the mixing bowl, and then put it into their mouths. However, as soon as the meat came out of the mouth, they started to praise it.

The lack of and repetitive complimentary sentences probably squeezed out all the praiseworthy words I had for the food.

After Yang Ge taught the two how to scald mutton, he put down his chopsticks and asked Zhang Erniu downstairs to bring up another two pounds.

Are you here just to wish me New Year's greetings? Does Jincheng have any other words that you two should bring to me?

When he said this, the two of them, who were sweating after eating, took their chopsticks together.

Back to the Second Master, there is indeed one more thing... There have been a large number of Japanese rogues in Jiangsu and Zhejiang recently. The master of the young dock is afraid that there will be trouble again in the future, so he asked us two brothers to ask the Second Master what he thinks.
